Integrate Obsidian With Github

    2 minute read
    ,

    For Windows

    Tools Used:

    after install git make file call.bat contains bash_git path and the shell_script file that we want to run it from windows using batch script

    1cmd /c ""C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -i -- H:\myshell.sh"

    {: lang=“batch”}

    after that goto obsidian workspace folder create file .gitignore

    1# To ignore files that could cause issues across different workspaces
2nano .gitignore
3# and set these 3 lines in
4.obsidian/cache
5.trash/
6.DS_Store

    then create file .gitattributes this file used to fix merge conflict automatically through keep both ours and theirs when conflict

    1# Add a line to .gitattributes:
2*.md merge=union

    initialize repo

    1git init
2git add .
3git commit -m "init"
4git remote add origin https://github.com/USER/REPONAME.git
5# To permanently cache the credentials
6git config --global credential.helper store
7git push -u origin master

    {: lang=“bash”}

    Task Scheduler make shell script file obsidian_git.sh

    1# Making a new script to automate our repo management
2touch obsidian_git.sh 
3chmod +x obsidian_git.sh

    {: lang=“bash”}

    obsidian_git.sh

     1#!/usr/bin/env sh
 2VAULT_PATH="/f/7S/IS/ZNotes/My_Plan_2020/Courses_Note_Offline"
 3cd "$VAULT_PATH"
 4
 5# infinite loop repeat each 30 minutes 
 6while true 
 7do 
 8 # check internet connection before pull or push to avoit currupt script
 9 out=$(curl -Is https://www.google.com | head -1)
10 if echo "$out" | grep -q "200"; then
11 git pull > /dev/null 2>&1
12 CHANGES_EXIST="$(git status --porcelain | wc -l)"
13
14 # check if $CHANGES_EXIST Not equal to zero that means there is some changes on obsidian files
15 if [ "$CHANGES_EXIST" -ne 0 ]; then
16 
17 git pull > /dev/null 2>&1
18 git add . 
19 git commit -q -m "Last Sync: $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")" 
20 git push -q
21
22 fi
23
24 else
25 echo "Not Internet Connection..."
26 fi
27
28 sleep 30m
29
30done

    {: lang=“shell”}

    To run script automatic when system startup and hidden cmd console, fist create vbs file run.vbs and set these lines in

    1Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
2WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Users\H\Documents\myObsidianWorkspace\call.bat" & Chr(34), 0
3Set WshShell = Nothing

    {: lang=“vb”}

    here should you change this path to your file path batch script file that we create on top section C:\Users\H\Documents\myObsidianWorkspace\call.bat

    after that goto startup folder through shortcut keyboard Win+R to open run window type=> shell:startup automatic will open startup folder, last step copy run.vbs file there

    every time system start the script will be run

    For Android

    Tools Used:

    generate token authentication for github to login with it on android automatic without authentication each time

    Settings > Developer settings > Personal access token

    open termux then run this command to access storage termux-setup-storage clone your repo with token authentication \

    1cd storage/shared/
2git clone https://token_name:token_key@github.com/username/my_workspace

    {: lang=“bash”}

    change VAULT_Path in obsidian_git.sh with path your workspace in android in termux run command pwd to get current path then copy it and paste in obsidian_git.sh

    to run script bash obsidian_git.sh will run automatic 😀 in background

    for explore files and modify use obsidian app on android

    that’s it everything done :)
